No, im doing the lefty les paul for someone then thats it comission wise for a while. Im gonna concentrate on getting a few all-rosewood guitars together for shows and to get reviewed in mags later in the year.

Been thinkin about the london guitar show but not sure yet, its mega expensive. Got another baby on the way thats due beginning of June so gonna be even busier than I have been this year. Just gonna see how it goes.

The next one Im doin is basically the same as this but a single cut Les Paul type one with a very simular shape but just one cut-away.

Thought about making the horns a bit wider but i like em as they are, wanna jeep the weight down as much as possible. Thats why im carving the top too, its gonna be about 28mm at the edge and 42 in the middle.

You CAN play anything with anything....but some guitars sound right for some things, and not for others. Single coils sound retarded for metal, though those who are apeshit about harpsichord probably beg to differ.

Is there a reason you lined up the grain the way you did? Or was that just how it ended up?

Its all cut from one 7ft length and thats was the best way visually I could get it with missing all the knots and splits. Think for the next one I'll cut all the rosewood I've got up and mix and match em to get the most pleasing grain in em all.

^I think some sort of tree made it line up that way... That's what they do.

Using those 3 planks of wood, there were 20 different ways they could have been glued together to make this guitar.

That makes sense. I was looking at this one and wondering why you didn't hide the seems better but if the plank has checking then their isn't much you can do.

Very sexy! Loving the carve, not really digging the difference in body grain though, a one peice or bookmatched 2 peice would have been sweet.

Yeah, would have been nice with a one or two piece body but its REALLy hard to find rosewood that width especially without shakes and knots. The more I look at it the more I like the difference in grain though.
